Lost his sugar.
--Thursday morning Simon Greenburg came over from Petersburg on the cars with two trunks filled with sugar; one trunk contained one hundred and twenty pounds, and the other about double that quantity.
On account of the extraordinary weight of his baggage the conductor of the train charged him $20 freight.
This for a long time Greensburg refused to pay him. While he was chaffing with the conductor some of the negro wagoners stole his smaller trunk and disappeared with it. On discovering his loss, Greenburg was inconsolable and cried like a child.
Officer Chalkley hearing that a negro named Birch had been seen with the trunk, hunted him up and arrested him. The case was before the Mayor yesterday, but was continued till this morning on account of the absence of witnesses.
